My Czech programmer keyboard

This is my own custom Czech programming layout for X keyboard extension (also works on Wayland!). It is based on the US ANSI 104 layout, but with diacritics in the top row.

Oh and you'll need a keypad. Keypad supremacy.

Visualisation

Image created with Keyboard layout editor.

Instalation

just simply put ce into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ and then setxkbmap -layout ce.

# cd /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
# wget wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/3top1a/Czechish-programing-keyboard/main/ce
$ setxkbmap -layout ce

for KDE Plasma, there are a few more steps required: (from this excelent answer)

1. Insert into /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst (about line 375)

  ce              cz: Czechish

This will make it search for the ce file

2. Insert into /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml (about line 2338)

# ... in <variantList> of the Czech layout
        <variant>
          <configItem>
            <name>ce</name>
            <description>Czechish</description>
          </configItem>
        </variant>

This adds information about the layout.
